These Are A Few of My Favorite Things: Chunky, Loose-Fitting Sweaters

Today I'm going to talk about something very near and dear to my heart: the sweater. It's been a wardrobe staple of mine for as long as Seattle has been a miserable place to live, and there's a few reasons why I love them: They come in every color, shape, style, material, etc. etc. etc. Furthermore, they're incredible easy to find for cheap- the 20 or so thrifted sweaters in my closet are a testament to that. 

One particular style begs for digression, however. Chunky or loose-fitting sweaters are incredibly versatile and often offer a chicness and comfort that only your grandpa's cable-knit can achieve. There are more ways, however, to wear them other than with jeans and unwashed hair (okay, maybe that's more of a personal anecdote), and here's how!

And there you have it, folks. The frumpy sweater isn't actually so frumpy, is it?

Come Sail Away

So as I've mentioned before, I've really been digging the surge in popularity of nautical threads lately. I was perusing Modcloth like usual and found this little gem:

(Currently out of stock- $26.99 ON SALE BABY WOOOO)

I think it's pretty sweet, with the fake pockets, buttons, and sailor's trim. I actually thought it was navy and white when I ordered it, but it's actually black and white -even better, more versatile! It was my first purchase on Modcloth and the customer service was wonderful, they even threw in a cute headband for free!

Someday I'll learn how to pose correctly. But today is not that day.

Hey guess what everyone... TOMORROW IS FRIDAY. Thank goodness. Love you all!
